Higher density sources
of fuel such as coal and
natural gas utilized in centrally - produced power stations actually improve the environmental footprint
of the poorest nations while at the same time lifting people from the scourge
of poverty...
Developing countries in Asia already burn more than twice the coal that North America does, and that discrepancy will continue to expand... So, downward adjustments to North American coal
use will have virtually no effect on global CO2 emissions (or the climate), no matter how sensitive one thinks the climate system might be to the extra CO2 we are putting back into the atmosphere.

Methane emissions derive mostly from landfills, agriculture (particularly rice farming), livestock, and
natural gas and coal extraction, while soot, otherwise called «black carbon», results from the incomplete combustion
of fossil fuels and derives primarily from primitive cook stoves
used throughout much
of the
developing world, as well as diesel engines and coal - burning power plants.
